Three young men recreate cinema stunt during Kerala floods; slapped with case

Kerala: Three young men from the Southern Indian state of Kerala braved a gushing river to recreate a daring cinema stunt. They successfully performed the dangerous stunt and also made a video of it, with the movie song playing in the background. However, their glory is short-lived, as a case under the Disaster Management Act has been slapped against the trio at Kerala's Moozhiyar Police station.

A video of the stunt shows the youth swimming toward a floating log which is moving at a fast pace alongside a river. Then, they are seen climbing into the log and sailing on it, in full glory. 

The youth have recreated a similar scene from the Mohanlal film 'Naran', where the actor swims across the tide to catch a large floating log.

Over the last few days, rain-related incidents alone have claimed over 20 lives in the state.
